🌾 Heart-Healthy Quinoa Breakfast Bites 🌾
Starting the morning with your heart in mind! This recipe is adapted from the American Heart Association cookbook, with a few of my own tweaks — and it's a perfect grab-and-go breakfast for anyone watching cholesterol, blood pressure, or sodium.
Why these ingredients love your heart back:
🌾 Quinoa – a complete plant protein packed with fiber, magnesium, and potassium, nutrients tied to healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
🥚 Egg whites – all the protein, none of the cholesterol. A heart-smart swap for whole eggs.
🥣 Greek yogurt – adds protein and calcium without the saturated fat of heavier dairy.
🍄 Sautéed mushrooms – naturally low in sodium and rich in potassium, which helps counterbalance sodium's effect on blood pressure.
🍅 Sun-dried tomatoes – concentrated source of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to cardiovascular support.
🌿 Za'atar & tarragon – bring big, herby flavor so you need less added salt.
THE RECIPE
Seasoning: 1 tbsp za'atar, 3 tbsp tarragon, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, dash of sea salt
Mix in: 1/2 cup quinoa (cooked from 1/2 cup dry), 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup black olives, 1 cup sautéed mushrooms, 1 cup egg whites, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Makes 12 bites.
